How to Beat Juggernaut

Juggernaut Strategy
Utilize Burst Skills Avoid Opening Attack Then Rush New Enemy Attacks at 70% HP Below Stay Away From the Oil

Utilize Burst Skills

Almost all attacks of Juggernaut can be evaded using Perfect Dodge and Blink making it easy for you to charge your Burst Energy.

With this in mind, Burst Skills are your go to attacks for this boss. Familiarize yourself with these first before you initiate the boss battle.

Punishing Edge is Recommended

Punishing Edge is the best Burst Skill to use as this is the quickest and easiest to use. Upgrading its strength in the Skill Tree is recommended for a more devastating damage count!

Avoid Opening Attack Then Rush

Rush	Hold

At the beginning of battle, Juggernaut will attack with three consecutive waves created by his weapon. Sprint your way out of this and after the third wave, perform a Rush attack to ensure close proximity to Juggernaut.

New Enemy Attacks at 70% HP Below

When you get Juggernaut to 70% HP, its weapon will be engulfed in flames and new attacks will be added into its moveset.

Stay Away From the Oil

Once Juggernaut's Weapon becomes engulfed in flames, its attacks will be more devastating.

If he attacks the oil on the ground, fire will now be set upon it, so it is best to avoid oil puddles especially when Juggernaut is about to attack.
